good advice from Nick, as usual. We’ve seen this question a few times from people who have different sizes than the rest of their competition. Customers don’t really look at sizes rather they prefer names so make sure you look carefully at your market and main competition and go like for like...

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges PPG2270: How is this a ‘phantom fee’; it is an explicit fee charged by the shop to help cover delivery. Using the same examples if the customer ordered 2 pizza’s then the store with the delivery fee gets less revenue. If I buy CD’s online some stores charge me...

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges PPG2270: Who’s being negative. I’m just speaking what I believe is the ‘truth’! A business can determine its remuneration strategy in many ways. A business can have a) a specific charge for its delivery or b) have slightly higher product charges which include...

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges the off topic part and it also doesn’t mean he’s right!!

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges PPG2270: You CLEARLY do not understand the different ways in which shops price their goods and services and for that reason there is little point in arguing with you. If delivery charge was ‘free and clear’ money then why would anyone (and there are a number on...

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges the off topic part PPG2270: No, you said and I quote your last line, ‘I speak the truth, and I do so without reservation.’ and the point was just because you ‘feel’ you are speaking the truth it doesn’t give any more validity when you try to push mw/tip etc down...

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges the off topic part PPG2270: You share his style, his posting habits and despite being told by several members, an uncanny ability to take at least one thread about ‘delivery charge’ into a discussion about minimum wage and tipping. As you say you are slowly...

thats a great reason! Not sure if its beats my best one… sorry I’ve decided I can’t start work as a delivery driver as I’ve just started a diet.

At the end of the day, the way a business raises its revenue is up to the business owner. There are plenty of example of delivery companies other than Pizza who operate successful ‘FREE’ delivery and plenty who charge. Assuming that the cost of the goods, delivery, overheads, profit etc are the...

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges the off topic part and funny how two ‘new’ driver ‘appear’ on TT both of whom register on the same day (Friday) and both of whom take the same stance and approach of Gregster i.e. hijacking a post about whether or not a business should charge for delivery or...

roncox: get deliveries to the customer in 30 mins or less.

Kris how did you get on with this issue? Wiz

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges PPG2270: Unless there is a legal definition of what a ‘delivery charge’ is then what the delivery charge is, was and will be is totally up to the business owner. One business owner, which you quoted, has told you that for him it is for the drivers - so he’s not...

brad randall: Not sure, only ever banned one person! Personally I ‘LIKE’ everything that I post on the business page as it then shows up on all my friends newsfeeds.

yep you can delete any comments on facebook and you can ban people as well. You DO need to check your page regularly though.

I’m in the ‘free delivery’ camp on this one (sorry). FREE is one of the best words around and something we all use in our marketing so why not use as one of the biggest USP’s fro your shop (if you can) - sure if you have a huge delivery area then maybe not. And yes its built into my prices and...

I’ve learnt that every employee is different and as a result I speak/interact with them in different ways to get the best results. However, I ‘treat’ them all the same when it comes to what I expect, rules, procedures etc. A one size fits all solution doesn’t work. In terms of am I more strict...

Rockstar pizza: So you didn’t do it before as it was ‘classless’ but now you’ve had time to think about it its a great idea!! and now not only will you banner shake outside their shop you’ll actively interact with their customers by giving them vouchers and free pizza. Nice turnaround!

ddariel20: unless the cop’s are now doing ‘ethical’ policing I’d think that was rather a good example. :roll: I’d agree about the un ethical nature of specifically standing in front of a competitors shop and as I mentioned above I’d also be VERY wary of having any sign which mentioned them...

I find this topic kinda interesting. I suspect EVERYONE on this board wants to market their shop in the most effective way they can. You guys are obviously threatened by Domino’s marketing in the vicinity of your shop so WHY on earth aren’t you or more importantly haven’t you been similar...
